If this doesn't look like an attempt for some sort of world dominance, I don't know what would. We cannot allow this to be a sideways war, pitting Conservative vs Liberal. The common cause is up and down. These pricks all have tons of money. They don't give a shot about any of us and truly don't
Bring back Smog!
Idiot.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

Maybe gone forever as most of them live outside our information loop.
Powerful graphs.
And the trend goes both ways, by the way.

The US government is telling Americans to hate Europeans and Canadians. And many have dutifully changed their opinions.

The dots are connecting.
It's going to come from outside the US when it's finally opened up.
It truly was deflection and blackmail. Men showing their true beastly souls.

This is a pretty important piece with more than a few moral questions for anyone that reads it.
Sorry that you have to expand to read it. 😶 I found it that way!

It's not so much that Republicans have bent their knees to Trump these days. Everyone knows he's on borrowed time no matter health, age or time.
They've lost complete control of their own movement and the tail is now wagging the dog.
The dog will do anything right now to stay ahead.
Dangerous!

Probably 15-20 years ago in NJ, we had an October Snow that crippled the northern part of the State for the better part of a week. No power etc. Same situation. One of the biggest issues was falling tree limbs. JCP&L had stopped/slowed down on trimming branches overhanging wires.
1. deregulate everything and destroy all regulators so nothing functions in the public interest under the pretense this "aids innovation" and "empowers entrepreneurs"

2. blame poor people and minorities when nothing works
Nashville is furious about power outages. Republicans say ‘woke’ is to blame.
As Nashville’s utility company struggled to recover from a catastrophic ice storm and its Democratic mayor ordered a review, some conservatives attacked diversity training.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

Addressing Marimar Martinez, Blumenthal shows text messages from the CBP agent who shot her and says:

"Charles Exum sought to assassinate you, and then DHS sought to assassinate your character. That is unconscionable and intolerable."

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.
